I love baking, and I will bake all year long, but there is something about fall and baking muffins and loaves that just go hand in hand, the days get crisper and cooler and walking into a house with that fresh smell of baked muffins is so comforting.. my plan is to create a lot of new muffin recipes for the fall, my pumpkin cream cheese muffins are a big hit with you all so I did a spin off and created these delicious blueberry cream cheese muffin, so tasty! Makes 12 regular size muffins at only 84 calories and 3 smart points each!
